Eimear Ryan recommends
Though the Bodies Fall (2023)
Noel O'Regan
"Written with tenderness and a starkly beautiful sense of place, Though the Bodies Fall grapples fearlessly with the most profound questions: what is the worth of a human life? What does it cost to be endlessly in service to others? Where is the line between devotion and obsession? A dark dream of a novel that holds you in its grip till the very last line."
Islanders (2022)
Cathy Thomas
"A layered, immersive and sensory collection, Islanderspulses with life and pathos. Cathy Thomas weaves these overlapping and intersecting stories with finesse, humour, and breathtaking precision. I loved it."
